Belle is a musical storyteller with unmistakable influences of Maurice Ravel and Ryuichi Sakamoto. ‘Ravel In The Forest’ leads the listener through ancient woodland, quiet clearings and tropical canopies. We’re accompanied by birds, a chameleon, a dragonfly… an imaginary space filled with the wonder of the natural world.
 

Belle’s approach blurs the lines between classical and electronic music. It is described as ‘original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery’ (Brian Eno). Fresh off the 2024 EFG London Jazz Festival, Belle’s sonic explorations, classical virtuosity, and free flowing improvisations feel equally at home on jazz, classical, and experimental stages.
 

Joining Belle is the award-winning Engines Orchestra Strings. They are led by Phil Meadows (Metropole Orkest, BBC Concert Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia), and special guests.
